Hi i would like to see you SA/CA tank set ups so i can get some ideas for my 180.. i decided not to do P.bass for a little until i get a bigger tank....
 
Here's a reasonable couple of pics of mine(255gal)....

Hi thanks for the comments....must take some more pics..I have tweeked the decor a little....

Anyway you asked about filtration; there are three cannisters on the 255.....a Fluval FX5, and 2 Eheims 2213 and 2217, there is also a power filter as a polisher/powerhead; total turnover is around 1500 gal ph

I literally decorated this tank in an hour(although I had been decorating it in my head for a year); I collected everything I wanted in it as I went....the main centrepiece bogwood is over 4ft long and set me back 60gbp(around $120). I also invested in a good 3d background($300); but since my wife keeps telling me this imy last big tank I wasn't scrimping on anything......

All the plants are plastic; a good trick i used quite a lot is to get reptile(vivarium) plants these come as long garlands of leaves I then wrap them around pieces of bogwood.....

HTH
 
All fake plants......

clicked a few pics 5 mins ago, slight changes....
